Abstract
A restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by use of a restoration matrix is identified, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon via neither an image capturing lens nor a pinhole and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject. For example, the present disclosure can be applied to an image processing apparatus, an image capturing apparatus, an image capturing element, electronic equipment, a system, and the like.
Claims22
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program, and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by using a restoration matrix, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject,
- wherein the restoration region includes a partial region of the detection image corresponding to a region including a subject satisfying a preregistered condition or a region other than the region including the subject satisfying the preregistered condition on the restoration image.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program, and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by using a restoration matrix, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject,
- wherein the restoration region includes a partial region provided at a preregistered position and with a preregistered size in the detection image.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program, and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by using a restoration matrix, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject;
- storing a result of training using, as teaching data, the detection image and information regarding the restoration region corresponding to the detection image, wherein;
- identifying the restoration region of the detection image on a basis of the stored result of the training.
An image processing method comprising:
- identifying a restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by using a restoration matrix, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject,
- wherein the restoration region includes a partial region of the detection image corresponding to a region including a subject satisfying a preregistered condition or a region other than the region including the subject satisfying the preregistered condition on the restoration image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a restoration region where a restoration image is to be created by using a restoration matrix, the restoration region being in a region of a detection image obtained at an image capturing element that includes multiple pixels to receive incident beams that are incident thereon and that is configured such that output pixel values of at least two pixels in the multiple pixels have mutually different characteristics in terms of angle-of-incidence directional sensitivities about incident beams from a subject,
- wherein the restoration region includes a partial region of the detection image corresponding to a region including a subject satisfying a preregistered condition or a region other than the region including the subject satisfying the preregistered condition on the restoration image.
